Garth Marengi's Darkplace

As I enter month two of night shifts, I have been drawn ever more deeply towards BBC comedies. The real reason eludes me. I refer here to 1) The Mighty Boosh, 2) Spaced and 3) Garth Marengi's Darkplace . Each series involves fantasy life within a sad grey repetitive world made of cornershops, alcoholic landlords and pubs. The Mighty Boosh is about two zookeepers: Vince Noir, King of the Mods and Howard Moon, Multi-instrumentalist jazz maverick. Spaced is about two do-nothing roommates in Camden, brought to you by the makers of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. And then yesterday I came across Garth Marengi's Darkplace. I can tell you nothing about it, but needless to say it involves a hospital setting, ESP, green smoke machines and numerous soap opera mullets. Nay, mulletinis. Please enjoy some Darkplace below. Full episodes available for the above shows at TV-links>.
